The S&P/TSX composite index lost 34.94 points to 14,334.04 as the Fed moved to clarified its guidance on when it might raise short-term interest rates at the end of its two-day policy meeting.
The Fed reaffirmed its plan to keep short-term rates low. But it no longer mentions a specific unemployment rate that might lead it to eventually raise rates. Instead, it will monitor a wide range of economic data before approving any rate increase.
Later, Fed chair Janet Yellen signalled that the central bank could begin raising short-term rates six months after it halts its bond purchases around year's end.
The greenback and U.S. Treasury yields appreciated sharply after the Fed announcement while losses for the Canadian dollar deepened, with the loonie closing down 0.86 of a cent at 88.93 cents US.
That added to Tuesday's drop of more than two-thirds of a cent after Bank of Canada governor Stephen Poloz said that slow economic growth may be the new norm. He said central bankers will need to keep interest rates low and didn't rule out a rate cut by the Bank of Canada.
New York's Dow industrials fell 114.02 points to 16,222.17, the Nasdaq was down 25.71 points at 4,307.76 and the S&P 500 was 11.48 points lower at 1,860.77.
The Fed also said the economy is strong enough to allow it to cut its monthly long-term bond purchases by another $10 billion to $55 billion.
The base metals sector fell almost two per cent amid a volatile session for copper with the May contract in New York up four cents at US$2.99 after plunging as low as $2.88.
Worries about China have sent copper prices reeling, falling more than seven per cent since March 6 in the wake of tepid economic data, while the base metals sector has dropped well over six per cent this month.
Deutsche Bank said earlier this week that heightened market volatility in the Chinese renminbi currency market alongside China's first domestic bond default have sparked market fears that commodity financing deals in China could unravel. Such an event could also result in widespread metals liquidation.
"This where China now has a bit more influence on the price of copper to the negative. . . . The government is saying, 'we're going to allow relaxation of controls around the yuan to float plus or minus two per cent (and) that puts the squeeze on the speculation in copper,'" said Philip Petursson, director of institutional equities at Manulife Asset Management.
Optimism that the Ukraine crisis won't worsen pushed gold prices down $17.70 to US$1,341.30, sending the gold sector about three per cent lower.
The TSX energy sector rose 0.19 per cent as oil on the New York Mercantile Exchange edged 67 cents higher to US$100.37 a barrel.
In corporate developments, Power Financial (TSX:PWF) posted net earnings of $593 million or 84 cents per share, compared with $277 million or 39 cents per share a year ago. Excluding the impact of costs associated with the acquisition of Irish Life by its Great-West Lifeco (TSX:GWO) arm and other items, operating earnings were $455 million or 64 cents per share, compared with $405 million or 57 cents per share in 2012. Power Financial shares were off 44 cents to $34.43.

Antipodium is quickly becoming one of our favorite up-and-coming lines, thanks to its constant output of quirky prints and cool silhouettes. And the latest news from the London-based brand is endearing us even more. Antipodium just released its first shoe collection (for e-commerce giant ASOS), and it's a doozy.
With three shapes in a variety of spring-ready colors and materials, the collection includes a loafer, a chunky-heeled slingback, and a pump. We're really feeling the white-piped cork loafers, the army-green slingback is already on our wish list, and the here-and-there mesh throughout, we're convinced, is the ultimate detail. The collection is a study in color- (and material-) blocking perfection — one that we suspect will be quickly snapped up thanks to its under-$150 price tag. A low-key, mixed-media statement shoe for spring? Antipodium for ASOS has your number.

Advanced BioMedical Technologies Inc.'s Quality Management System Receives ISO 13485:2003 Certification
Jan 15, 2013, 09:36 EST
NEW YORK and SHENZHEN, China, Jan. 15, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Advanced BioMedical Technologies Inc. (OTCQB:ABMT), developer and manufacturer of orthopaedic internal fixation devices, is delighted to announce that the Company's Quality Management System (QMS) has been credited with ISO 13485:2003 certification.
The Company's Quality Management System (QMS) was certified by the Chinese SFDA (Guangdong) to meet YY/T 0287-2003 standard - the Chinese equivalent of ISO 13485:2003. According to the Chinese SFDA regulations, all mainland Chinese medical device manufacturers must establish document, implement and maintain a Quality Management System (QMS). Only the manufacturers with a SFDA certified QMS are allowed to apply for production permits and product registrations.
While the Company's facility and laboratory were under renovation in 2012, the Company had been identifying the processes needed for the Quality Management System and their application throughout the organization. The Company has established its quality objectives, the sequence and interaction of the quality management processes and determined the criteria and methods needed to ensure that both the operation and control of these processes are effective. The QMS was considered to have met its objectives and effectiveness after internal analysis and management reviews. The Company submitted its certification request to the SFDA (Guangdong). Having conducted several on-site examinations in late 2012, the SFDA (Guangdong) accredited our QMS with YY/T 0287-2003/ISO 13485:2003.
Wang Hui, CEO of the Company, said: "The SFDA certified QMS will enable the Company to manufacture and market its products once they are approved by the SFDA. Furthermore, Quality Management Systems around the world are generally based on ISO 13485; this certification will help the Company to be accredited in other countries in due course."
About Advanced Biomedical Technologies Inc. (OTCQB: ABMT)
Advanced Biomedical Technologies, Inc.'s primary product line includes internal fixation devices (bone screws, pins, wires etc..) consisting of proprietary high grade polymers (polyamide – "PA") which allow the body to degrade the products during the healing process. During the healing process, the products stimulate new bone growth which replaces the degrading device, leaving newer, stronger bone in the exact location of the injury; thus making the site of the injury stronger and more resistant to recurring damage. These products provide an alternative to metal implants and overcome the limitations of other re-absorbable fixation devices.
The products and materials that the Company has created differ from competing bio-degradable and metal based products being marketed today by:
- The ability to control the speed that the device degrades; therefore improving upon the healing time.
- Eliminating the need for a second surgery to replace device due to infection or other post-operative complications.
- The capability of being evenly absorbed from outer layer inwards, so that it gives enough restoration time for bone healing and re-growth.
About ISO 13285:2003
ISO 13485:2003 specifies requirements for a quality management system where an organization needs to demonstrate its ability to provide medical devices and related services that consistently meet customer requirements and regulatory requirements applicable to medical devices and related services.
The primary objective of ISO 13485:2003 is to facilitate harmonized medical device regulatory requirements for quality management systems. As a result, it includes some particular requirements for medical devices and excludes some of the requirements of ISO 9001 that are not appropriate as regulatory requirements. Because of these exclusions, organizations whose quality management systems conform to this International Standard cannot claim conformity to ISO 9001 unless their quality management systems conform to all the requirements of ISO 9001.
All requirements of ISO 13485:2003 are specific to organizations providing medical devices, regardless of the type or size of the organization.
If regulatory requirements permit exclusions of design and development controls, this can be used as a justification for their exclusion from the quality management system. These regulations can provide alternative arrangements that are to be addressed in the quality management system. It is the responsibility of the organization to ensure that claims of conformity with ISO 13485:2003 reflect exclusion of design and development controls.
If any requirement(s) in Clause 7 of ISO 13485:2003 is(are) not applicable due to the nature of the medical device(s) for which the quality management system is applied, the organization does not need to include such a requirement(s) in its quality management system.
The processes required by ISO 13485:2003, which are applicable to the medical device(s), but which are not performed by the organization, are the responsibility of the organization and are accounted for in the organization's quality management system.

This is how they do it, because this is how they always do it.
It might not be a widely known fact, but the Devils are again showing themselves to be one of the best teams in hockey, another notch in their whipping pole coming yesterday afternoon when they beat the formerly first-place Penguins, 3-1, at a soldout Prudential Center.
"We're going through a really tough part of the schedule here," coach Pete DeBoer said of his 7-1-3 club, now winners of four straight and usurpers of the conference lead. "It's a grind every day, but we really like how we're approaching our preparation and keeping our composure and resiliency."
The only time the Devils have lost in regulation this season was last Saturday in Pittsburgh, when the Penguins (8-4-0) took it to them in a 5-1 win. The two teams immediately boarded flights yesterday and headed back to western Pennsylvania to do it again tonight, a playoff atmosphere created not just from the condensed schedule and the crucial divisional points, but because of the physical intensity inherent in two teams this good meeting this often.
"We know it's going to be a battle again," said second-year center Adam Henrique, who scored the game-winner on the power play 10:56 into the third period. "We got a confident group in here right now and we have to keep that going."
The game itself was far from a thing of beauty, as the two teams combined to take 22 penalties resulting in 24:12 of man-advantage time. The Penguins explosive power play was hobbled a bit by missing defensive sniper Kris Letang (lower-body), but even with the immense skill they still ran out there, the Devils allowed just one goal in six chances — a Brandon Sutter tip-in with his glove, 1:23 into the first that made it 1-0.
It was the first power-play goal the Devils had given up in 19 chances — now 24-for-25 on the penalty kill in the past five games — to go along with their 6-for-21 success rate in that stretch while up a man.
"Our special teams have been great all week," said Henrique, whose goal was followed up just over two minutes later by Bobby Butler notching another power-play tally. "That's the difference in the games right now. Everybody is buying in."
That everybody also includes rookie Stefan Matteau, who in his seventh pro game — gasp! His entry-level contract has begun! — got his first career goal, finishing a great cross-ice pass from Andy Greene at the end of the second to tie it 1-1.
"It's pretty special, I felt like I was on a cloud," said Matteau, 18-year-old son of the former Rangers' hero of the same name. "Hopefully it's the first of manyand it's great to get the win."
Yes, the win, something the Devils have been as good as anyone in hockey at getting over the past 20 years. And even though it was the Devils representing the Eastern Conference in the Stanley Cup finals last season, their loss of star winger Zach Parise seemed to have degraded their national stock — if such a thing is even possible for a team as perpetually under-the-radar as the Devils.
"I think it's typical of what it is to be New Jersey," captain Bryce Salvador said. "It's a low-profile team, and a team playing to our best. That's the way it's always been and we like it."

French Alps shooting: Three victims in vehicle were shot in the head
Three victims of a gun attack in the village of Chevaline, near Lake Annecy in the French Alps, were shot in the head, a French prosecutor has confirmed, while a young girl was beaten and shot in the shoulder.
French police said father Saad al-Hilli, from Claygate, Surrey, was found dead alongside his wife and mother in a BMW in eastern France.
A girl was also found near the car and remains in critical condition in hospital following the attack having been shot three times and apparently beaten, while another girl, 4, was found unharmed in the car.
She had been hiding for more than eight hours under her mother's legs during and after the murders but was not initially spotted by police.
Prosecutor Eric Maillaud, who is leading the investigation into the shooting in a idyllic spot in the Alps beside Lake Annecy at Chevaline, described the survivor as 'miraculous'.
Mr Maillaud said: 'She stayed beside her mother's body, prostate for almost eight hours, and did not move during all this time.'
Mr Al-Hilli, his wife, his mother and the two children were travelling in a British-registered car at the time of the attack on Thursday.
A sixth victim, a cyclist, was found dead near the BMW car, which was parked in a forest lay-by.
It is believed he may have tried to intervene during an alleged robbery attempt on the family, whose bodies were found near the town of Chevaline.
Police said last night they had traced the car's owner.
Dozens of spent cartridges were scattered around the scene of the killings, although no firearms have been recovered.
A police spokesman said: 'The entire area has been sealed off while a full multiple murder investigation is under way.'
There are 60 police officers involved in the operation. The attack took place close to the resort town of Annecy, which is popular with British visitors.
Explaining how a four-year-old remained undiscovered at the scene of the shooting for more than eight hours, a source told the Evening Standard: 'The crime scene was kept frozen until forensics experts arrived from Paris during the night.'This meant that the dead bodies had to remain in the place where they fell. The little girl was well hidden under her mother's legs, and clearly was in a state of shock.'
Mr Maillaud said that the British cyclist who discovered the crime scene told them he came across the 'powerful' BMW with the engine still running.
'He also saw coming towards the car a young girl who collapsed before him,' he said.
'He quickly came to her and put her in a side position and called the police and ambulance service and everyone came to the scene.'
The cyclist told police that the girl had been repeatedly hit 'extremely violently'.
Police said that the three murdered in the car where all the shot in the middle of the head.
'We are talking about particularly horrific and alarming deaths,' Mr Maillaud said.
'It was clearly an act of extreme savagery and it was obvious that who did this wanted to kill.'
Didier Berthollet, mayor of Chevaline, said residents were 'shell-shocked' by the killings. 'We have never seen such horror on our doorsteps before,' he added.
The Foreign Office said that the British Embassy's deputy head of mission in France was at the scene of the shooting.
'She is liaising with the local authorities and police to get more information,' a spokesman said.

The MPAA's Problem In A Nutshell: Views Relationship With The Public As One Way
from the consume,-consume,-consume dept
Reading Dodd's column, it's pretty clear where the problem lies. He still thinks of the movie business and its relationship to the public as a one way thing: they deliver content that the public consumes. He's right to point out that the public is the ultimate boss for the entertainment industry, but he frames them, incorrectly, as consumers, rather than something more:
If there is one key point I hope the audience left with, it's this: Despite what the media and the advocates on the extremes would have you believe, the content and technology communities are not adversaries, we're partners. Our companies call them audiences and tech companies call them users, but giving consumers the best possible experience is our shared goal. In the end, we all report to the same people: consumers.Notice the language here. The public's job is only to consume what the MPAA delivers. It's all about distribution, in one direction only. There is no attempt to actually further listen to what the public says (in fact, Dodd has famously dismissed the concerns of the public, calling them thieves for wishing for better and easier access to content that they can share and build upon). There is no attempt to understand the public. It's all about shoving content to them in one direction.
We both share a commitment to innovation. Developing fresh and interesting content, and new platforms for seamlessly delivering that content to audiences, is the lifeblood of both of our industries. That's why Hollywood is partnering with Silicon Valley and others — from YouTube to Facebook to Netflix to Roku — to deliver our great content to screens of all sizes. In fact, every one of the studios that I represent at the Motion Picture Association of America has a distribution deal with Google. Partnerships with these tech companies are only growing. There are currently more than 350 unique, licensed online services that provide motion picture content to viewers around the world, including more than 60 in the U.S. alone.
But that's not how the media landscape works any more -- and this is a big part of the problem. Above all else, the internet is a communications platform, in that the conversation is multi-directional. Yes, part of that can be broadcast content, but the public wants to do much more. They want to discuss and share and have experiences with each other. And their concern over the MPAA's constant overreaching on things like copyright law are that the end result will actually prevent them from communicating and sharing.
If he were actually concerned about the public, he wouldn't just talk about shoving content to them, he'd be talking about understanding what they want, and that would mean actually talking to the public on the internet, where they live.
Take UltraViolet, for example. UltraViolet is technology that allows customers to purchase content in one form — digital or physical — and then watch it on any of their devices. UltraViolet is the result of a coordinated effort between dozens of content and tech companies — because all of these companies understand that it is in the best interest of their customers to ensure that people do not have to buy multiple forms of movies or shows.Indeed, he spoke about UltraViolet over and over again at the event. But UltraViolet is really the shining example of the MPAA's wrong approach. It's an attempt not to deliver what the public really wants -- but to have the MPAA and some tech companies try to build a service that fits what Hollywood wants, while pretending to give the public some more control. It's just a new form of DRM. The fact that it's received mostly scathing reviews says it all. This wasn't designed with input from the public. It was yet another attempt to tell the public what it should like.
The tech community will be integral to helping solve this problem. It's going to require cooperation and voluntary best practices from all interested parties. We saw some of that earlier this summer when Google altered its algorithm to de-emphasize pirated content. That was an important step because it recognizes the problem, and it recognizes Google's ability to do something about it. It was not a silver bullet, and there's much more to be done — but it was a good acknowledgment from Google that content theft is a problem and one that can be tackled.Yes, the tech industry is important, but not nearly as important as the public. And Dodd has made little to no effort to actually hear from them. Just the fact that he thinks Google's decision to pervert its search results is an example of the kind of innovation that's needed, again shows how misguided his approach is. He thinks that the "innovation" is about limiting consumers and holding back technology. It's about protectionism, not about opening up new opportunities and new markets. It's not about enabling what the technology can do, but holding it back.
That's not innovation. That's not what the public wants. It's protectionism for an industry that doesn't want to adapt.

VANCOUVER – The union representing British Columbia's nurses says members won't be forced to wear masks and stickers if they're not vaccinated against the flu.
British Columbia's health officer Dr. Perry Kendall announced the policy this past August, arguing low vaccination rates among health professionals were putting patients at risk.
But the British Columbia Nurses Union says the provincial government has backed off on the policy following a "strong public campaign" by members.
The union says the provincial government will provide nurses with more information about the value of immunization and provide on-site flu clinics for members.
It says the government will also work with unions and employers to determine the best way to increase vaccination rates.
In November, a doctor with the U.K.-based Cochrane Collaboration publicly questioned the evidence used to justify the mandatory flu-shot policy.

Fed Up With The Culinary Union's Bullshit, The UFC Launches an Attack Website of Its Own
Suffice it to say, if you aren't aware of all the downright despicable practices The Culinary Workers Union Local 226 has pulled over the years in regards to the UFC and MMA in general, you've probably been living in the dark. Operating under a thinly-veiled "concern" for the conduct of UFC fighters and a need to protect our children from the potty mouth of Dana White, the CU — often backed by one or more anti-women's violence groups — has been the driving force behind the anti-MMA movement in New York. The fact that their continuous harassment of the UFC and laughable (not to mention libelous) smear campaigns have only hurt the economy of the state they are trying to "protect" is an irony that has apparently been lost on them.
In either case, it appears that the UFC has grown tired of seeing so many websites backed by the CU — websites that, like the CU itself, operate under a false front — popping up over the years, and has launched their own counter-website, TheTruthAboutCulinary226.com. The website aims to both expose the Culinary Union for the dissembling moralists that they truly are in addition to uncovering just how poorly the organization is managing its own member's funds:
Read More DIGG THIS
The Culinary Union has targeted Station Casinos because the company refuses to agree to a "card check" process whereby the Culinary Union may become the representative of its employees without being elected as such through a secret ballot election. Rather than simply following the secret ballot election process that U.S. federal law provides, the Culinary Union's management has instead waged a dishonest campaign to pressure Station Casinos to capitulate to its demands. As part of that campaign, the Culinary Union has been engaging in harassment tactics that target all of the business interests of the Fertittas, including Station Casinos and the UFC.
The Culinary Union has criticized Zuffa for making political contributions of $231,650 in 2012. However, in 2012, UNITE HERE itself spent almost 5 ½ times more than Zuffa on cash disbursements for political activities and lobbying, totaling $1,252,676. Additionally, UNITE HERE paid a total of $1,158,598 to "consultants" in 2011.

AICPA Supports New Law with Groundbreaking XBRL Reporting Requirement
October 13, 2011
The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants supports a new law that for the first time requires reporting to the federal government using such nonproprietary standards as eXtensible Business Reporting Language, which is commonly referred to as XBRL.
The Child and Family Services Improvement and Innovation Act, H.R. 2883, requires recipients of federal child welfare funds under the Child Welfare Services program and the Safe and Stable program to report certain data to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services using XBRL or a similar type of nonproprietary standard.
In a letter to Congress urging passage of the legislation, AICPA President and CEO Barry Melancon said, "The use of data tagging to enhance both the transparency and the ability to analyze financial and other data has been proved time and time again. XBRL provides a detailed yet customizable approach to gathering data and will provide significant transparency to the federal government and the American people regarding the use of taxpayer funds."
Representative Geoff Davis, the sponsor of H.R. 2883 and a Republican from Kentucky, said on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives while urging House members to vote for the bill, "We have often heard in hearings that states and programs within states have difficulty coordinating services because of difficulty sharing data, and that this lack of coordination increases costs and decreases effectiveness. This bill directs the Secretary of HHS to work with the states to establish national data standards so that all state child welfare programs are speaking the same language."
Melancon noted in his Sept. 20 letter that "XBRL has been used for a number of years by the federal government in areas such as Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation call reports and public company financial reporting to the Securities and Exchange Commission."
The House passed H.R. 2883 on Sept. 21 by a vote of 395 to 25. The Senate passed the bill on a voice vote on Sept. 22, and it was signed by President Obama on Sept. 30. It is Public Law No. 112-034.

Leathercrafting Basics (Note: All AH prices listed are current Shiva server sales as of 9/26/2012)
Since a lot of Leathercrafting involves turning hides into leather, the 3 main items you will need a lot of are Dark Crystals, Windurstian Tea Leaves, and Distilled Water. Distilled Water is cheap (12g each) and can be purchased at NPCs all over Vana'diel. However, the most convenient spot to buy it with regard to Leathercraft is at Raimbroy's Grocery which is near the Leathercraft Guild. Windy Tea Leaves stacks sell for around 500-1000g at the AH (Shiva server current price) or if you're not in a major rush, you can get them from Baehu-Faehu in Windurst Waters for 18g - 22g each. Dark Crystal stacks sell anywhere between 5000-6000g and are almost always available. However, you can get Dark Clusters off elementals in various locales across Vana'diel and save yourself from cutting into your potential profits!
The Guide Itself
The new "REVAMPED" guide will mention a few things. First, your target mob. Second, is "other notable drops." Third will be "potential profits". However, there will be points in the guide where I will say DO NOT SELL. This will be because the item/items in question will be used for another skill up synth in the future.
0-2 - Sheep Leather - Dark Crystal: Sheepskin, 1 Windy Tea Leaf, 1 Distilled Water - Target Monster: Broo (Beadeaux) Other Notable Drops: Selbina Milk - Simply go to Beadeaux and kill Broo. Take multiple stacks of synthesis materials with you, as you will be farming the skins and immediately converting them to leather in the field. DO NOT SELL the Sheep Leather, they will be used in the next two items in the list. Selbina Milk is a commonly used item for Cooking skill ups. They sell for 1500g per stack. Also, in the future, if you'd like to return here and farm Sheepskin and convert to Sheep Leather, a stack of Sheep Leather sells for 30,000g per stack. A terrific place to farm in the future, but FOR NOW, keep your Sheep Leather!
2-5 - Leather Bandanna - Wind Crystal: Sheep Leather - A very easy synth, and a good bridge synth to the next recepie which caps at 11. Wind Crystal stacks sell for about 4000g and are very common. Save yourself the gil and farm Wind Clusters. Best spot is Buburimu Peninsula as wind weather is common there. These don't NPC for very much, so it's better to Desynth these to get some of your Sheep Leather back. Farm Lightning Clusters in Konschtat Highlands during Thunderstorm weather, which comes up pretty often there.
5-11 - Solea - Wind Crystal: Sheep Leather x 2 - Another easy synth, but uses up twice the Sheep Leather. Synth and Desynth to get some of your Sheep Leather back. If you happen to run out of Sheep Leather, head back out to Beadeaux and farm/synth in the field. Take this to cap, and on the way, pick up a Rabbit Mantle for your first Guild test.
11-16 - Lizard Gloves - Earth Crystal: Lizard Skin, Leather Gloves - Go to Crawler's Nest for your Lizard Skins. Target mob: Labyrinth Lizard Other notable drops: Lizard Egg - Lizard Skins are a near 100% drop and can drop more than 1 skin too. Farm about 8-10 stacks of Lizard Skins at Crawler's Nest and then go to Southern San d'Oria's Armor Shop. Purchase Leather Gloves from the NPC (330 gil) and begin making Lizard Gloves right there. The resulting gloves do not sell well at the Auction House, so just sell them to the NPC at the Armor Shop. They sell to NPC for approximately 150 gil, so you're losing a small amount of gil doing that. However, stacks of Lizard Eggs sell very well at the Auction House ranging from 5,000g per stack up to 10,000g per stack. So whatever gil you lose selling the Lizard Gloves to the NPC is covered by the sales of the Lizard Eggs. Also, be sure to purchase or synth a Lizard Cesti for your next guild test.
16-21 - Dhalmel Leather - Dark Crystal: Dhalmel Hide, Windy Tea Leaf, Distilled Water - Target mob: Bull Dhalmel (Buburimu Peninsula) Other notable drops: Giant Femur, Dhalmel Meat: This is the point where you can really begin making a decent amount of gil. Kill any Dhalmel you come across. If a hide drops, convert it to leather right away. As you progress, the other drops will start to clog up your inventory. Dhalmel Meat doesn't sell very well at Auction House, so run over to Mhaura and sell it to NPC for 60g each. The meat is a near 100% drop rate by the way. Giant Femurs are used in multiple Bonecraft synths for skill ups. They sell quickly at the Auction House for 1,000g each. However, if you're not willing to wait for them to sell, or if you have other things up at the AH that hasn't sold, the Giant Femurs can sell to NPC for a little over 200g each. Potential profits: Dhalmel Leather is used in "Gobbiebag Part 1" quest and sell well individually. Currently 7,000g each. A full stack of Dhalmel Leather is a little slower to sell, but the current price range is 70,000 - 80,000. How you sell these is your choice, in the end, it's all profit!
21-24 - Bugard Leather - Dark Crystal: Bugard Skin, Windy Tea Leaf, Distilled Water - Target mob: Bugard / Gigantobugard (Misareaux Coast) - Other notable drops: Bugard Tusk, High-Quality Bugard Skin - The Bugard Skin is about a 40-50% drop rate. Farm and synth in the field and take it to the 24 cap. This synth is only good as a bridge, nothing more. Both the Bugard Tusk and HQ Bugard Skin are NPC fodder. 750g for the Tusk, 400g for the HQ Skin. The Bugard Leather also does not sell very well at all. They only sell as singles, and not stacks. 7000g for individual leathers currently. If you would rather not wait, they sell to NPC for about 450g each (5400g per stack) Not a whole lot of profit, but you do get to 24 doing this. Once you hit 24, purchase or synth a Dhalmel Mantle for the next Guild Test.
24-30 - Parchment - Dark Crystal: Rolanberry, Sheep Leather - Rolanberries can be purchased in Port Jeuno in the Duty Free Shop immediately next to the Auction House NPCs for 120g each. Go back to Beadeaux and farm the Sheep Leathers. Take this to 30 and sell the results if you can. Singles sell for about 4,000g each, as they are a required item to complete the BRD flag quest (to become a Bard). Stacks will not sell. If you sell the Parchments to NPC, they sell for 100-105g each, so you'll lose a little bit of gil. The next synth will more than make up for it.
30-35 - Ram Leather - Dark Crystal: Ram Skin, Windy Tea Leaf, Distilled Water - Target mob: Hammering Ram (Abyssea - La Thiene) - Other notable drops: Ram Horns - Ram Skins are a 100% drop. Enter Abyssea with a load of synthesis materials, kill Rams, get drops, synth to Ram Leather. Rinse/Repeat until you hit the cap at 35. DO NOT SELL the Ram Leather, as they will be needed for the next several levels. However, once you've become a high level Leathercrafter (or you hit the cap at 70) Ram Leather is an excellent source of income. Ram Horns are used in multiple Bonecraft recepies, they sell for 1,000-2,000g each. Individual Ram Leathers are needed for a Gobbiebag Quest, and stacks of Ram Leathers are often purchased for other high level synthesis recepies for various guilds. Individual Ram Leather sells for 5,000g each, and stacks of Ram Leather sell for 35,000g.
35-43 - Waistbelt - Wind Crystal: x2 Ram Leather, Grass Thread - Grass Thread is incredibly easy to farm. Get a bunch of Wind Crystals together and head out to Giddeus. Murder any Yagudo you come across, as you are after their Yagudo Necklaces. It is a low level Clothcraft synth so you can make yourself multiple stacks of Grass Threads easily. Once you're done, head back to San d'Oria and begin making the Waistbelts. This is a bit of a jump, so I recommend you get HQ Support for the first few levels of this. (If you have the Leatherworker's Torque that also helps tremendously) If you run out of Ram Leather, simply head back to Abyssea: La Thiene and farm them up. The Waistbelts do not sell at the Auction House, so just sell directly to the NPC. With max fame, you will get around 1,700g each. At 38-40 buy or synth a Magic Belt for the next guild test.
(SPECIAL NOTE! - Now that you're over Lv. 40 Leathercraft the Trainee's Needle will no longer work)
43-49 - Ram Mantle - Ice Crystal: Ram Skin, Wool Thread - Wool Thread makes it's first appearance in your Leathercrafting career here. Sadly at this point it is pretty much unavoidable. If you have Clothcraft 35+ on your main, or on a mule, the best way to obtain Wool Threads is by desynthing Gigas Socks. Once you have about 5-6 stacks of Wool Threads, head back to Abyssea La Thiene and kill the Rams there. Since this is another slightly large level gap, farm as many Ram Skins as you can hold, return to Southern San d'Oria and get HQ support from the guild for the first few levels. Once you are able to make these comfortably without support, you can kill Rams, synth Mantles, rinse/repeat. Take this to the 49 cap at all costs. The next item on the list is a pain.
48-53 - Raptor Mantle - Earth Crystal: Grass Thread, Raptor Skin x 2 - If you buy everything from the Auction House, this can get very pricy. However, Grass Threads are very easy to get (see Yagudo Necklaces & Wind Crystals) and so are Raptor Skins. Unfortunately, the only spot to get a semi-decent (20%) drop rate with TH7 are the Raptors at Valley of Sorrows. The going will be slow, but will be worth it in the end. Take this up to 52. Although this caps at 53, stop at 52 and immediately go to Tiger Leathers. Raptor Mantles do sell at 20k a pop currently on the AH, as it is needed for a Mog House upgrade. The sell speed is somewhat slow though, so be wary of that. If you just want to offload your product, they sell to NPC for approximately 1.2k each.
53-61 - Tiger Leather - Dark Crystal: Tiger Hide, Windy Tea Leaf, Distilled Water - This is a huge money maker. Head out to Batallia Downs and hunt Tigers. Again, this is around a 20% drop rate, but at least with this you only need 1 hide per synth instead of 2 like the Raptor Mantle synth. For the first few levels, farm as many hides as you can possibly hold, then head to San d'Oria and use HQ support. Once you hit 55-56 on these, you can safely farm the hides and synth them in the field. Tiger Leather is VERY profitable so you can definitely make a lot of your gil back here. Singles sell well because they are needed for a Gobbiebag Quest. They go for 5k each. But the REAL profit is selling stacks. The price fluctuates slightly, but you can expect anywhere between 45-50k per stack.
61-63 - Beak Mantle - Earth Crystal: Grass Thread, Cockatrice Skin x 2 - Grass Thread yet again! Please see Daggers, Yagudo death, Giddeus, and Wind Crystals for further information on how to obtain Grass Threads. The best spot for your Cockatrice Skins will be Labyrinth of Onzozo. The skin drop rate is around 20%. Since you're at 60-61 and this caps at 63 you can simply farm the skins and synth in the field. Beak Mantles are better off NPC'd. You get 1.6k per Beak Mantle. The real prize here is the Cockatrice Meat. The stack sells for 4000g each and is a very fast sell.
63-71 - Coeurl Leather - Dark Crystal: Coeurl Hide, Windy Tea Leaf, Distilled Water - Target Mob: Master Coeurl - Location: The Sanctuary of Zi'tah - Farming wise, this is your best option for reaching the new sub cap of 70. Why do I say that? Master Coeurls have around a 25% drop rate on Hides, but the REAL prize is the Coeurl Meat. This is another large level gap, so for the first several levels of this, farm as many Hides as you can hold (and Coeurl Meat too) then head back to San d'Oria, get HQ support until you're around 66 or so. While you're in San d'Oria, drop off the Coeurl Meat at the Auction House to sell. Stacks of Coeurl Meat are selling for 25,000g per stack and are a very fast sell. IF YOU ARE ONLY TAKING LEATHERCRAFT TO 70, {Congratulations!} you're done! Good luck selling all those Coeurl Leathers! They aren't a fast sell at all. 4,000g for singles, 25,000g for a stack (slow sellers if at all) However, there's an "innovative" way to get rid of them and make a little gil in the process (next item on the list). However, IF YOU ARE CONTINUING TO 110, PROCEED TO TIGER MANTLES AND KEEP YOUR COEURL LEATHERS!!! THEY WILL BE USED IN A FUTURE SYNTH!!!
70-72 - Coeurl Cesti - Earth Crystal: Cesti, Coeurl Leather - This is a very simple synth. Various Weapon Shops in the 3 starter cities sell Cesti for around 150g each. If I recall, it depends on which nation is in 1st place in Conquest for that week. Find a shop selling Cesti, buy up a bunch, and begin making Coeurl Cestis. Since you're capped at 70, you can just make these right away without support. Sell these to NPC for a little over 2,000g each. Assuming you farmed all the Coeurl Hides yourself as you skilled up to this point, this is profit AND you don't have to wait for them to sell at the Auction House.
****FOR THOSE OF YOU STOPPING AT 70**** - Now that you're 70 (+1 with the Tanner's Gloves, you got them, right?) here's another fun thing you can make for some mad profits! You can also choose to skill on this up to 70 in place of the recommended Coeurl Leather!
63-71 - Lynx Leather: Dark Crystal, Windy Tea Leaf, Lynx Hide - Target Mob: War Lynx - Location: Meriphataud Mountains [S] - The Lynx are located to the north of the Campaign Battle area in a loop around a mountain. Go around and kill every War Lynx you come across. The drop rate on the Hide is actually pretty good! Around 40%. Lynx Leather is an AWESOME way to make some gil. They are used in some high level (105+) Clothcraft and Leathercraft items, and thus sell well. These do not sell as stacks, so don't list a stack of them accidentally. These sell individually for 30,000g each.
71-75 - Tiger Mantle - Ice Crystal: Black Tiger Hide, Wool Thread - You should know where to farm Tiger Hides by now (Batallia Downs), also I hope you've got some Clothcraft skill, the best way to get Wool Thread (mentioned earlier) is to desynth Gigas Socks (they stink too...). Ice Crystals/Clusters are easily farmed in Beaucedine Glacier and Xarcabard due to frequent Blizzard weather there. If you start these at 70, you shouldn't need HQ support, so just make these in the field. Also, assuming you have the Leatherworker's Torque and Tanner's Gloves (you should have them by now) you shouldn't have any issues with breaks. Tiger Mantles will not sell on the Auction House. Just sell these to NPC for about 1200g each. As long as you farmed everything you're making a small profit.
75-79 - Tiger Jerkin - Earth Crystal: Sheep Leather, Tiger Leather x 2 - Remember those Tiger Leathers I told you to save up? Use them here! Sheep Leather is also easily farmed in Beadeaux. Once you have everything gathered, make the Jerkins. It's ok to use up all your synthesis materials here. If you don't make it to the cap at 79 it's ok, the next item on the list will get you to 80 with no problems. Be sure to make a pair of Tiger Gloves for your Guild Test btw! Unfortunately, Tiger Jerkins do not sell on the Auction House. So just NPC these. They NPC for about 1800g.
75-80 - Manticore Leather - Dark Crystal: Manticore Hide, Windy Tea Leaf, Distilled Water - This synth is mainly for those who weren't able to make it to 79 making Tiger Jerkins. This will get you to 80 no problem! Best spot to farm Manticore Hides is in Western Altepa Desert just west of the zone to the tunnel. Since you should be very near the cap at 80, just make these in the field. Manticore Leathers do sell pretty well (for a change) 10,000g for a single piece, and 110,000-120,000g for stacks. They ARE slow sellers, sadly. So if you struggle to sell these, hang onto them, as they are used in an optional synth pretty soon.
78/79-81 - Peiste Leather - Dark Crystal: Peiste Skin, Windy Tea Leaf, Distilled Water - This is a Gobbiebag item, and will sell well. The drop rate from the monster itself is abysmal. However, there are enough that drop from other sources that there will be plenty listed at the Auction House. Yes, I'm asking you to camp the Auction House here. Buy the skins whenever available. They will pop up for anywhere between 1,000g and 3,000g. However, the Leather sells for 10,000g each. So despite the fact you're buying the skins from the Auction House, you're still making a profit selling the leather. Don't sell as a stack, it won't sell.
78-84 - Raaz Leather - Dark Crystal: Raaz Hide, Windy Tea Leaf, Distilled Water - The new Raaz type monsters (I just call 'em pigs) hang out in Kamihr Drifts on the continent of Adoulin. They're pretty nasty buggers, but with the introduction of Trust NPCs, they're easy to farm. On THF with TH7, the Hide is about a 45-50% drop rate, so bring along the crystals and the other materials. Assuming you've got the torque, body, and hands, you can make these in the field with ease. Take this to the cap at 84 and hang onto the leathers, you'll be using all of them up later.
79-85 - Coeurl Mantle - Ice Crystal: Coeurl Hide, Wool Thread - Wool Thread makes yet another appearance here! See Gigas's stinky socks and Lighting Crystals for your Wool Thread. Return to The Sanctuary of Zi'tah and make the mantles in the field. Assuming you have Tanner's Apron, Tanner's Gloves, and Leatherworker's Torque (+4 Leathercraft skill total) you should have NO PROBLEM making these. Take this to the 85 cap. Again, sadly, Coeurl Mantles simply will not sell at the Auction House, so just sell to NPC. They sell for around 2,000g so it's not too bad.
85-89 - Coeurl Jerkin - Earth Crystal: Sheep Leather, Coeurl Leather x 2 - If you made Coeurl Leathers to get to 70 and are taking Leather to 110, this is where you use those Coeurl Leathers. Sheep Leather returns yet again, head to Beadeaux and make your Leather there. Once you have a sufficient amount of Sheep Leather, start making the Jerkins. Try to make as many as you can until your inventory is near full. Don't sell these just yet, because the next item on the list actually uses Coeurl Jerkins and can give you further skill ups.
85-90 - Ogre Jerkin - Earth Crystal: Coeurl Jerkin, Manticore Leather, Undead Skin - This is the 2nd item in the "Coeurl Jerkin tree" that you can make and get skill ups off of. You made some Manticore Leathers a little while ago. If you still have some laying around, they're used here. Also, Undead Skins are a somewhat common drop off Doomed Toad type mobs. Best spot where there are multiple spawns is in Abyssea-Attohwa off Decayed Flesh, they are near Conflux #6. The drop rate is around 20%, but since there are so many in the area farming them will be a breeze. Once you get an Undead Skin drop, make the Ogre Jerkin there in the field. Ogre Jerkins are not good sellers, so just sell them to NPC. They sell to NPC for around 4,500g so it's actually pretty good.
89-91/92 - Tiger Mask - Ice Crystal: Tiger Hide x 2, Wool Thread, Wyvern Skin, Ram Leather - Ok! It's a lot of materials, so you'll be doing a lot of farming to just be able to make these. Wool Thread is easy, so is Ram Leather (see Abyssea-La Thiene and Rams for further info) the ONLY annoying part will be the Wyvern Skins. However, Abyssea is here to save your butt yet again! Svelldrakes in Abyssea-Grauberg have around a 40% drop rate on the Wyvern Skins. Assuming you're at 89 or 90, there is no need to get HQ support. Just make these in the field. This item will not sell on the Auction House at all, so just NPC them. They sell to NPC for only 1,000g. So you may even lose a little bit of gil here. The next item will make up for the loss.
91/92-97 - Square of Griffon Leather - Dark Crystal: Griffon Hide, Windy Tea Leaf, Distilled Water - Griffon Hides drop in Dynamis-San d'Oria, and people who obtain them will almost always put them up at the Auction House. Just camp the Auction House for these, as there are people who farm Dynamis-San d'Oria daily and will list the Hides after they complete their runs. The hides are currently only going for 1,000g. The Leather is used in the final Gobbiebag quest, and are in high demand. They sell for 9,000 - 10,000g each. So there's some major profit to be made here. Take this to the Lv. 97 cap at all costs!
97-99 (Clothcraft sub 60? needs verification) - Chelona Boots - Earth Crystal: Karakul Thread, x3 Karakul Cloth, Platinum Thread, Amphiptere Leather - This is a new feet armor from the June 2012 update, and are in demand due to the "Fast Cast" on them. I am listing this here as an alternative option for skill ups, but I wouldn't go with spam making these up to 99. Only make some if you happen to have the materials laying around (or you farm them) because the feet armor themselves sell somewhat slow, and if you make too many of them, they will just clog up your inventory space. However, if you farm the Karakuls in Caedarva Mire and synth the threads and cloths in the field and also farm your own Amphiptere Hides, you can make a nice profit selling these at the Auction House.
97-100 - Urja Trousers - Earth Crystal: x2 Buffalo Leather, x2 Squamous Hide - This synth is required to get from Veteran rank to Expert rank, but you can also skill up on these! Buffalo Hides/Leather are somewhat common on the Auction House, so just buy them there. Here's the tricky part. The Squamous Hides are currently 50,000g for singles and 600k for stacks. I have a good LS and from time to time, we go out to North Gustaberg [S] and go on a murderous rampage killing every Drachenlizard we see. After about an hour or so of farming, we usually come away with about 2 full stacks (or close to it) of Squamous Hides. As long as the Squamous Hides are farmed, you are making gil!
97-102 - Panther Mask - Ice Crystal: Wool Thread, Ram Leather, Wyvern Skin, High-Quality Coeurl Hide x 2 - Wyvern Skins make a return appearance. Go kill Wyverns in Abyssea-Grauberg! Ram Leathers can be made in the field in Abyssea-La Thiene. Wool Threads? Broken record, you should know by now. Now, here's something new.....High-Quality Coeurl Hides make their first appearance! They are dropped by Torama in Labyrinth of Onzozo. However! Summoners making Magian Staves for Garuda will be in there killing them in bunches. Because of that, there is usually a steady stream of HQ Coeurl Hides on the Auction House. They have been steadily going for 1,000g each. However, if there is no supply available on the Auction House, head to the Labyrinth and farm them. With TH7 THF, it's around a 15-20% drop rate. Unfortunately, Panther Masks simply do not sell on the Auction House, so just sell directly to NPC for around 3,300g. So as long as you farm everything else, you'll make a small profit.
97-101 - Aetosaur Gloves - Earth Crystal: Squamous Hide, Raaz Leather, Leather Gloves - Welcome to what I call "Aetosaur Road"! What the bloody hell is an Aetosaur anyway? Whatever. Thanks to this armor set introduced some updates ago (sometime in 2013, I forget) the path is pretty clear all the way to 109, so listen up! That little Armor Shop in Southern San d'Oria is where you can get some Leather Gloves cheaply. Raaz Hides are farmed in Kamihr Drifts. If you farm them on THF main, and use some Trust NPCs (oh yeah, that's new too) it makes farming the Raaz a breeze as the drop rate is around 50%. Also, Raaz Hide to Raaz Leather is the same basic Hide to Leather synth which happens to cap at Lv. 84. I'll edit that in as well. Now, Squamous Hides. Only place to get them is in North Gustaberg [S] off Drachenlizards. And the only place they spawn is in the far northwestern corner of the map. Since every piece of Aetosaur equipment requires Squamous Hides, you'll be farming these Drachenlizards for a pretty long while. It WILL get annoying, and you WILL be tempted to buy off the Auction House, but if money is tight, I don't recommend it. At last check, a stack of Squamous Hides sell for 350,000g to 400,000g so you're much better off farming in the field. You should be able to make these easily in the field at 97 (assuming torque + hands + body + stall) as you get a Squamous Hide drop. Once you hit 100, I highly recommend farming and accumulating the synthesis materials, get HQ support from the NPC, and synth them in San d'Oria. At Lv. 100, with HQ support, you can hit T1 HQ status and can possibly make some HQ gloves while still skilling up. As for selling these, the NQ can sell for around 20,000g to 30,000g each, but are slow sellers. If you manage to HQ one or more while skilling from 100 to the synth's cap of 101, they sell for 900,000g to 1,000,000g, which is a pretty nice return for all of your hard work.
101-103 - Aetosaur Ledelsens - Earth Crystal: Squamous Hide, Raaz Leather, Rhodium Sheet, Leather Highboots - Please see Aetosaur Gloves and Urja Gloves for your Squamous Hide needs. That same armor shop in Southern San d'Oria also sells the Leather Highboots cheaply. Now, here's the problem. Rhodium Sheets. What the hell? Rhodium Ingots are a 93 Goldsmithing recipe, and converting them to sheets is capped at 96. There's no possible way you can make them yourself, sadly. This is one of the few times I will tell you to camp the Auction House. Camp the AH for Rhodium Ingots. They are a common drop in Lv. 105 Skirmish (Rala Waterways and Cirdas Caverns) and show up on the Auction House regularly, but they are expensive. 70,000g each. If you know someone who is a high level Goldsmith, have them convert the ingots to sheets for you. Once you've got your sheets, you're ready to roll. Again, just like the synth before, when you're 1 level away from capping, get HQ support and synth in San d'Oria for a chance at making some HQ boots. NQ Aetosaur Ledelsens sell for 50,000g each, and HQ sell for anywhere between 1,000,000g and 1,500,000g. Now, if you don't have a Goldsmithing buddy that can convert the ingots to sheets for you, or you don't have the capital to afford 70k a pop ingots, then see Urja Gloves below as an alternative synth to get up to 104.
102-104 - Sealord Leather - Dark Crystal: Sealord Skin, Windurstian Tea Leaf, Distilled Water - This is where Leathercraft starts to become VERY expensive. BUT you can stand to make a lot of gil too. This is another classic skin to leather synth involving a drop from "Bismarck" which is from Voidwatch T2 Tavnazian path. Unfortunately, you'll have to camp the Auction House for these, and buy them up as soon as you see them. On Shiva they go for a steady 150,000g. However, they sell on the Auction House for 200,000g. So you're making your gil back PLUS another 50k assuming you don't bust a synth and lose the skin.
101-104 - Urja Gloves - Earth Crystal: Buffalo Leather, x2 Squamous Hides - This is an EXCELLENT alternative for skill ups if you don't have the capital to purchase Sealord Skin en-masse. Here's the kicker....in order for this to be cheaper for you, you absolutely MUST farm the Squamous Hides yourself, or with LS mates. So head out with a small group (1 member with TH7 THF helps) and farm those Squamous Hides. Each hide that drops saves you from spending 50k (current Shiva server price) each. Buy the Buffalo Hides at AH and convert to leather, or buy already made Buffalo Leathers at AH. Urja Gloves sell to NPC for 3.5k each, so as long as you buy the Buffalo Leather for 3k or less, you are breaking even. A break even synth at such a high level is a freaking miracle at this point!
104-105 - Urja Ledelsens - (Smithing sub of 58-60 required) - Earth Crystal: x2 Squamous Hides, Buffalo Leather, Dark Bronze Sheet - I am able to confirm this is at least capped at 105, as it is still listed with the NPC that gives you recepies that are 1 to 4 levels above your current skill. Squamous Hides make yet another appearance. Get a bunch of friends together and farm the hides to save yourself from spending a ton of gil buying them at the Auction House. You can also choose to farm the Buffalo Hides yourself as well, or buy them at the Auction House for 2000-3000g each. Here's the problem. NO ONE makes Dark Bronze Sheets! You'll have to make them yourself. Here's the problem with that.......it is a Smithing Lv. 74 synth to make the Ingot, and 75 to convert to a Sheet. Bite the bullet and get your Smithing up to 67, then start making Dark Bronze Ingots up to 70 (you'll need it!), then to Sheets and use up the product to make the Urja Ledelsens. The ingots themselves aren't too expensive to make really. It's Fire Crystal: Darksteel Ore, Tin Ore, x2 Copper Ore. You can buy Darksteel Ores at the Auction House (current Shiva price is 3000-5000g) and the rest of the stuff can be purchased cheaply at the Smithing Guild Shop in Bastok's Metalworks. You can even get HQ support at the Smithing Guild to help ensure you successfully convert the Ingots to Sheets and minimize breaks that way. OH the things you have to go through just to get another level as cheaply as possible in Leathercraft......
104-106 - Aetosaur Helm - Earth Crystal: x2 Squamous Hide, Raaz Leather - This synth is perfect for getting you to 106. If you still have Raaz Leather left over, you can easily use it here. If not, see the Raaz Leather entry (84 cap) for further information. The ONLY annoying thing about this synth is that it requires 2 Squamous Hides instead of one, which essentially doubles your work load in order to attempt a synth. Just bite the bullet up to 105 synthing in the field as you farm. Once you're 105, farm and accumulate as much material as you can, and synth in San d'Oria with HQ support for a chance at HQ synths while skilling up. NQ helms sell at AH for 50k (slow seller) but HQ Helms sell for 300,000g to 500,000g. If your NQ helms don't sell at all, you can simply just NPC them. Assuming you farmed everything in the field, it's still profit although not as much profit as you had hoped. But do try to sell any HQ you make at the AH for some bigger returns.
105 - 107 - Hexed Boots: Earth Crystal, Serica Cloth, Kukulkan Skin, Lynx Leather, Silver Thread - This is where Leathercraft begins to become incredibly expensive. Unfortunately there's really no way around it unless you're in a linkshell that does Voidwatch/Provenance (Beguiling Radiance) on a regular basis. Kukulkan Skins are a drop off, you guessed it, Kukulkan in Abyssea-Konschtat. Lynx Leather is mentioned earlier in the guide, and Silver Thread is common on the Auction House. By this point, you should have the Leatherworker's Torque (+2 skill) Tanner's Apron (+1) Tanner's Gloves (+1) and the Tanner's Stall is up in your Mog House (gives +5 to your skill) Unfortunately, at 105 Leather with HQ support (another +3 skill) you don't quite reach T1 status yet, so your chances of making an HQ are slim to none until you reach 106 Leather. Once you hit 106, you will have a small chance at HQ and some pretty good gil. As of today, Serica Cloths sell for 1,200,000g, and Kukulkan Skins sell for 250,000g each. NQ results hardly sell, but last sales have been at 30,000g. IF you manage to HQ this, you can possibly make 20,000,000g (yes, 20 MILLION gil)
106-107 - Aetosaur Trousers: Earth Crystal: x2 Squamous Hide, Raaz Leather, Leather Trousers - That little armor shop in Southern San d'Oria has the Leather Trousers for cheap. You should know by now where to get Raaz Leather as well as Squamous Hide. This is only a 1 level jump, so farm all of the materials and accumulate. Go to the Leather guild and get HQ support to hit that T1 HQ status. The trousers are actually a somewhat in-demand item. Not only does it have a nice Haste stat on it, it's got some Store TP, which is appreciated. NQ sell for 20,000g on the Auction House, but HQ sell for 1,300,000g up to 1,500,000g. So if you manage to make some HQ during skill ups you can make a nice chunk of gil.
107-109 - Aetosaur Jerkin: Earth Crystal: x2 Squamous Hide, x2 Raaz Leather - By now, you should know where to get all this stuff. For the first level of this, synth in the field. Once you hit 108, farm and accumulate materials, and synth in San d'Oria with HQ support. NQ sell for 30,000g while HQ sell for 500,000g each. However, if your inventory is getting full, these sell to NPC for 11,200g (plus some change) with max fame, so even if you farmed everything yourself, you get a decent profit.
109-110 - Aput Mantle - Ice Crystal: Akaso Thread, Cehuetzi Pelt - Akaso threads are a clothcraft synth result of Akaso Grass, which is harvested in Yorcia Weald. If you don't have any Clothcrafter friends, or you're not in the mood to hang in Yorcia Weald for hours on end, buy the thread at Auction. They go for about 25,000g each. Now here's the hard part. Cehuetzi Pelt drop off of the Delve v.2 mega boss from Kamihr Drifts. Not only are the pelts used for a multitude of other things (JSE weapons, relic armor upgrades, etc.) they are pretty damned expensive too! Anywhere from 1,300,000g to 1,400,000g on Shiva as of 10/10/14. If you happen to be in a LS that does Delve on the regular and knows of your situation (trying to get to 110 leathercraft) and they are ok with losing the potential profits to the LS as a whole by letting you have the pelts and not selling at AH, then you're one lucky *******! If not, then you're stuck having to blow the gil just to attempt the synth. Oh, it gets worse. According to FFXIAH, thus far, only a few Aput Mantles (NQ) have sold on Shiva, and no HQ have sold at all (or haven't even been made yet). So regardless, you're losing gil on this no matter what you do. Just bite the bullet and do it.

POLI 382 (US) Capitalism and Democracy (1)
This course examines the nature of the relationship between capitalism and democracy, in various areas of the world including the U.S.A., from a range of theoretical and historical perspectives. Student will critically assess theories of the development of democracy in capitalist societies as well as of the market's effects on political representation and policy making, and review debates about the tensions and affinities between those systems in the contemporary period. Questions to be addressed include: What explains democratic and authoritarian pathways to economic modernization in the 19th and early 20th centuries? Does the relationship between capitalism and democracy show distinct regional variations, and if so, why? In what ways do capitalism and democracy function in harmony or in friction, and why? What role does market consolidation play in democratic transitions, and vice versa? Are welfare states and distinct national patterns of capitalist organization viable in the 21st century?

Lease inked for park
A lease between Wapakoneta City Schools and the village of Cridersville for park land should be mutually beneficial, school and village administrators say.
Approximately 7 acres directly south of the new Cridersville Elementary School, on Reichelderfer Road, are being leased to the northern Auglaize County village for $1 for the length of the 99-year contract.
The property is to be used to develop into a nature park, with walking paths.
"The schools will benefit from it as well as the village," Wapakoneta City Schools Operations Director Mike Watt said.
He said the district wanted to maintain ownership of the property if it were needed in the future, however, any growth of school facilities is expected to be to the east.
Cridersville Village Administrator Jarid Kohlrieser agreed that the lease helped both the village and the school district.
"They are always good about working with the village," Kohlrieser said of Wapakoneta City Schools. "They can utilize the park and we plan to work as a team as we develop it into the future."
Kohlrieser said Phase I of the project includes further development of plans and a parking lot. The first phase is being paid through a more than $3,000 Nature Works grant Cridersville received this spring from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources.
"It's going to be a long process because the amount of funding we need is not available," Kohlrieser said. "We will gradually work on it and see what grants are available to help develop the area."
Kohlrieser said the long-term conceptual plans for "Delong Pioneer Park" include shelter houses, a pond, wetland and meadow areas, a boardwalk, bird blinds and amphitheater.
The park is named for George DeLong, who purchased the property in 1835.
"There are all kinds of ideas, which can be revised or changed as we go along," the village administrator said. "As money becomes available we will do more."
Terms of the lease require the village to develop the property into a recreational area at its own expense — constructing an asphalt parking lot of 15 to 20 spaces, walking paths, climbing structures, shelter houses and a possible amphitheater, according to the lease.
The village also is responsible for maintenance and repairs. The agreement may be terminated after 30 days notice.

EPA Calls for Reduction in Fluoride in Drinking Water
Posted: March 7, 2011
For decades, fluoride has been added to drinking water helping to prevent cavities and fight halitosis and tooth decay in the United States. Recently the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have officially stated that only the minimum requirements of fluoride should be added to drinking water, reducing the current amount. Along with our water supply, fluoride is found in many oral care products. According to the EPA, fluoride is used to prevent tooth decay by slowing the loss of tooth enamel. Just a small amount between 0.7 and 1.2 milligrams is effective. The EPA and HHS are now suggesting the acceptable level of fluoride in drinking water should be at the minimum of 0.7 milligrams per liter. The reason for this change is the increasing amount of fluoride that is available through dental cleanings, oral care products such as toothpaste, and tap water. One of the results of tooth decay is bad breath. When halitosis is prevalent, fluoride in drinking water may do little to help with curing bad breath. While it is important to be hydrated to avoid dry mouth, maintaining a healthy oral care routine is very important. TheraBreath products are guaranteed to alleviate bad breath. After all, if just drinking water took care of bad breath and cavities, dentists would be out of business! Also consider trying an oral care probiotic that can help your body's ability to resist cavities, sore throats, ear infections, tonsil stones, bad breath and more.

Shailene Woodley's performance on screen and her earnest and kind personality behind the scenes made an impression on the film's cast and crew. Click through the gallery to see what her costars had to say about working with the young actress.
(Jay L. Clendenin / Los Angeles Times)
Kate Winslet: "We're very fortunate to have Shai playing Tris, because what she brings to that role is very unique and very specific to Shai. She's a very gentle, solid person. She knows herself very well. There are things that are really important to her. She has some strong morals and values that she holds very dear to herself, and she brings that into that girl. She grounds her and she makes her real. she puts her in a place that is believable. It's a futuristic piece, it's a world that we don't know of, it doesn't exist for us, and yet she normalizes all of Tris' experiences through playing her in such a very real way, and that's what makes it work."
(Jaap Buitendijk / Summit Entertainment)
Ashley Judd: "There's something distinctly seeking about Shailene. She's really endeavoring to live a life of meaning and connection. That just came across instantly in our interactions. To be able to drop down to a pretty honest and vulnerable place with someone instantly, it feels good. And she's a really, really superb actor."
(Jaap Buitendijk / Summit Entertainment)
Maggie Q: "In Hollywood, it's very, very rare to be blessed to collaborate with someone at such a young age who has such an old soul and such a sure sense of self, who's lovely and kind, but also who is just a real person. I know that sounds gross — it makes Hollywood seem like a bunch of zombies walking around — but it is a really hard business, and I think that turns people inwards.... When you meet someone who has an outward sense of appreciation for people and care and concern, it's very rare. And it's going to serve her well."
(Summit Entertainment)
Miles Teller: "She's just so sweet, and she is so caring and kind and considerate. If you're going to be with somebody every day for 12 hours for four months, those are great qualities to have. It's very easy in this business to get bitter or jaded , but Shailene, I've never really seen her too upset."
(Summit Entertainment)
Lucy Fisher, producer: "She is very self-sufficient and is her own kind of warrior. She has a huge amount of inner strength. She's very principled. She has a position and a point of view on almost everything. And she's been working for probably about 10 years or more, and she has a wonderful family and she's very close to her family, but she has been a professional doing a job for a long time, so she's very mature beyond her age.... She's also very tender and dear and loving, and when she meets people, she gives them a hug. So she sort of has both sides."
(Frazer Harrison / Getty Images)
Douglas Wick, producer: "Whether she's on a Ferris wheel or jumping off a train or in a heated exchange with Kate Winslet, she doesn't know how to be phony. It always feels as if this is what it would actually be like if you were really in a fear landscape, if this character actually were suddenly submerged underwater or suddenly being violently chased by birds."
(Annie I. Bang / Associated Press)
"Divergent" opens in theaters today, bringing dystopian adventure heroine Tris Prior to the big screen and launching the film's star Shailene Woodley into the public eye.
The film, based on the bestselling young adult book series by Veronica Roth, takes place in a post-apocalyptic world where people are sorted into factions based on personality. Woodley's Tris finds out she's divergent, meaning she has aptitude for multiple factions — something that's not allowed in the rigidly divided society. She decides to hide her divergence and join Dauntless, the faction that values bravery, and as a result finds herself jumping onto moving trains, throwing knives and shooting guns.
For Woodley, "Divergent" marks her first step into the world of big-budget action. Her previous work includes playing a teen mom in ABC Family television series "The Secret Life of an American Teenager," portraying a young girl in love with an alcoholic in "The Spectacular Now" and acting opposite George Clooney in "The Descendants" — a performance that earned her a supporting actress Golden Globe nomination. She also plays Hazel Grace Lancaster in the upcoming film adaptation of John Green's novel "The Fault in Our Stars," a love story between two teenagers who have cancer.
MORE: Shailene Woodley embraces being divergent
Woodley says that filming "Divergent" was the most challenging thing she's done so far in her career, but her performance on screen and her earnest and kind personality behind the scenes made an impression on her costars and the movie's producers.

Thursday , January 11, 2018 - 5:00 AM
This information was supplied by Jon McBride of the Ogden Mustangs.
The Ogden Mustangs swept the Cheyenne Stampede on the road last weekend to start the schedule's second half after a 15-day break over the holidays.
Over the series from Friday, Jan. 5, to Sunday, Jan. 7, the Mustangs won 11-1, 13-1 and 12-0.
In Friday's game, local product Ammon Anderson of Syracuse tallied his first career hat trick in junior hockey play.
"We went into the series wanting complete efforts and with a focus on making proper decisions and having discipline," said Jake Laime, Mustangs head coach. "We were able to do that for the most part. Keeping guys healthy and boosting morale is important down the stretch. Setting goals and living up to expectations is crucial as playoffs are coming quick."
> Mustangs grab 5 of 6 points from Idaho in fast-paced series
Kerry Kruzel and Jacob Laurin had two goals each in the opening win. Ross Bartlett totaled a goal and four assists to lead all scorers as Ogden outshot Cheyenne 85-20.
On Saturday, Matts Thielemann totaled two goals and two assists. Bartlett had four assists. Ian Currie, Harry Gulliver, Rhett Rampinelli and Anderson each had three points. Jon Chin got the win in goal and shots were 80-5.
On Sunday, Jacob Laurin led the way with a hat trick and an assist. Thielemann had a goal and three assists. Rampinelli and McClelland had three points each. Kruzel had two goals. Chin got the win and shutout as the Mustangs shot 97 times.
The Mustangs have now won four in a row after dropping four in a row for the first time in three seasons. They're 25-8-1 this season, first place in the WSHL Mountain Division and second overall in the league. The Colorado Jr. Eagles and Utah Outliers are neck-and-neck with the Mustangs at the top of the division.
The Mustangs are back home this weekend to take on the Casper Coyotes for three games. The two teams met earlier this season in Casper with the Mustangs sweeping all three games.
The puck drops at 7:30 p.m. for games Friday and Saturday, with Sunday's matinee starting at noon.
The Mustangs will be without the services of WSHL leading scorer Matus Spodniak again this weekend. He suffered a leg injury during the Mustangs' first game at the Western States Shootout in Las Vegas in mid-December.
